Guys, I think you're missing the point here.
You should see my face right now, I'm totally wearing a huge childish smile, having completed my first short trip in SH3 using real navigation from vanjast, slightly modified.
Watching the bright stars up in the sky, drawing stuff on the map, then waiting for the sun to come out, to find out it's perfectly accurate with the sunrise/tables provided by van. And after 12 hours at 64TC wondering if I did things well, if the game is accurate enough, and so on, hearing my trusted watch yelling "schiff gesichtet !".
Man, I was less than 4 km from my expected course, after 190km ! Now that's a f-ing great feeling ! I entered the harbour slowly and docked right at sunset, thus I could check my tables, and according to my position, it was again accurate to the second, awesome. And at that same moment you guys call each other names :roll:
I recommend a few real time minutes of virtual star observation and recognition to ease off :up:

I bet that some people (modders or complainers) always have something to let out, the daily pressure and everything, so I say let them have this thread... I mean everybody knows no one has nothing personal against anyone here, just like complaining about life or defending his hard work, so whatta hell... as long as we are not diffamating eachother's mothers, screw it...

Let them have their fun, its always better to let out them to keep it inside...

Yeah, but for Kurt it wasn't so much burned out as blown...

Neither do stinking white ants!!:nope: My house (lean-to) is living proof!!:lol:
Slightly off track here!:yep:

Had to Google White Ants.
:huh:
Never heard them called that.
:lol:

Your lucky Privateer, I crap my dacks everytime a storm comes, incase my lean-to leans too far!!:lol:

Sounds like you need a pet Ant eater.
:yep:

You're saying that because I don't mod, I have no right to a voice on this forum?

Or that my posts should only consist of heaping praise on those that do?

Sorry, but this isn't that fantasyland you want it to be. I call 'em as I see 'em.

That's becouse you are not doing it right!

I do it all the time, but do you see anyone picking on me? You have to be a nice guy first to gain the right to say crap later. :up:

By the way, assuming this is a thread to nothing (and this is a cool off post :D )... did anyone tryed to teach a friend to play silent hunter 3?

Holy jesus... I tryed...

I have a close friend who's a big fan of the atlantic naval ww2 german roll and loved to watch me playing... But now that he have a decent computer and can run the game, its fun to see him learn!

But doing that I saw how much do WE know about the game... Its hours and hours teaching and it never ends!!! How to control the boat and submerge and turn around and behave and use the deckgun/flakgun and how to do orders and what is best/worse and how to stay quiet and avoid destroyers and what to do when being attacked and how to get ready to a convoy approach and how you should attack them and DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT TDC! :rotfl:

Gives me a headache... but it is amazing how much did we learned in 3 years... that knowledge we would probably never be able to pass foward to someone, its just too much... its amazing... :up::rock:
